WHY I LOVE LAGRANGE
FROM CHICAGO TO LAGRANGE
We sat down with Sherri Brown, director of Circles of
Troup County.
LDN: According to your biography on Circles’ web-
site, you’ve been in LaGrange since 1996. Where were
you beforehand and how did your life bring you to
LaGrange?
Brown: Most of my childhood was spent in the Chica-
go area, until college when I headed for Baylor Univer-
sity (sic’em Bears!) in Texas. My first job was in Atlanta
where I eventually met my husband. He’s a Georgia boy,
so we’ve stayed in Georgia.
LDN: Once you got to LaGrange, what kept you here
and why?
Brown: It does take a village to raise children. Our
three daughters were young when we moved here and
it’s been a great community for our family — school,
church, neighborhood and community. I especially love
living in the downtown area. Our house is 100 years
old now and my neighborhood has newcomers and
“old-timers” who know each other, care for each other
and have a lot of fun. It was a fabulous neighborhood
when we were raising children, and we couldn’t imagine
living anywhere else now.
